GTL Strategic Plan
The 2008 Genomics:GTL Strategic Plan is now available electronically. [02/09]
Today, scientists have in hand the complete DNA sequences of genomes for many organisms—from microbes to plants to humans. The U.S. Department of Energy's Genomics:GTL program will use the new genomic data and high-throughput technologies for studying the proteins encoded by microbial and plant genomes to explore their amazingly diverse natural capabilities.
Potential Impact Areas
- Bioenergy production
- Environmental remediation
- Carbon cycling
GTL Goal: A Broad Knowledgebase to Support Energy and Environmental Applications
GTL research conducts explorations of microbes and plants at the molecular, cellular, and community levels. The goal is to gain insights about fundamental biological processes and, ultimately, a predictive understanding of how living systems operate. The resulting knowledgebase—all linked through DNA sequence and freely available—will catalyze the translation of science into new technologies for energy and environmental applications.Site Directory
